Small in size but big in personality, the Yorkshire Terrier makes a fun and loving companion. The most popular toy dog breed in the U.S., the "Yorkie" has won many fans with his devotion to his owners, his elegant looks, and his suitability to apartment living and his love for companionship!
Despite their bravado, Yorkshire Terriers have a soft side too. They need lots of attention and time with their family. Training will serve your Yorkie well to better balance his personality.
As long as they get some exercise every day — perhaps a good play session in the living room or a nice walk around the block, Yorkies will make fine apartment dogs!
